Abstract

An apparatus is disclosed for providing more uniform lighter spark wheel actuation. Uniform actuation is facilitated in the apparatus according to the invention by reducing the resistance encountered from the rotation of the flint on its axis due to the screw-thread-like action of the cutting member on the flint. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a non-rotatable pyrophoric flint is utilized which illustratively includes a body having a non-circular cross section.
